Adnan Hamid, Breker Verification Systems

There have been very few successful revolutions in the electronic design automation (EDA) market segment. The last was probably the migration from gate-level schematic design to language-based register transfer-level (RTL) design. This involved a new methodology and new languages, both of which have evolved over time. There have been several attempts to create other revolutions, [...]

The functional verification space has had more innovation than any other part of the front-end design flow, and yet the amount of time and effort spent in verification continues to grow. The problem stems from rising complexity and the fact that simulation as a technology has failed to scale ever since single processors stopped [...]
